Even more thankful that I found Nashville Krav Maga....The first lesson was free which gives you an idea if you'll like it (and you will!) Great Staff! Very Welcoming! Both Students and Staff.

You'll gain confidence and have fun all the while getting a good work out in. -Zack-

They are mindful to people's past and triggers and they explain everything very well. They are very knowledgeable of the craft. I was pregnant during this and they were very accommodating and modified things, obviously if you're being attacked the bad guys won't care but it was nice to learn some moves to protect yourself specially when you are pregnant. They have a studio inside of Franklin Athletic Club and they have different types of classes. They also have only women classes if the ladies rather not have a stranger male as a partner. I totally recommend and will be coming back!!!

Mr. Justin is amazing with the kids, and his Sprouts program focuses on basic Han Mu Do techniques while having fun at the same time. My son also does sword work as well in the program.

My son is progressing through his Sprouts belts and is close to getting his Sprouts black belt, and our son will son move up to the Juniors program.

I had my kids in David Deaton Karate for about a year. I honestly don't know enough about dojos…read moreand karate to tell you whether the instruction was any good but the instrutors were all very disciplined but good to the kids. I found that the price was really exorbiant and it seemed to get more expensive the further we went along. The general idea is that the kids learn a kata and some rudimentary moves and then they can move belts for which there is a ceremony and then additional purchases of pads. My main gripes were the prices $125 a month and the pads seemed to run you and extra $100 or so everytime they moved up a belt which at first can be every 4-6 weeks . I probably could have lived with the pricing but my kids were sort of ambivilant to going so it wasn't worth it for me. My other gripe was that there was all this saluting the flag and pomp and circumstance about god and country and supporting troops. It's not that I mind that either but we are studying karate which you know didn't orignate here in America. It just seemed like it was David's politics with some Americanized Brentwood Karate mixxed in. Not my bag.
